The government plans to recruit over 15,000 residents for public housing by the end of the year, including 10,000 public sale units and more than 5,000 public rental units in the metropolitan area. To enhance transparency, a 'Digital Housing Supply Dashboard' will be established, allowing citizens to easily track everything from sale and rental schedules to construction and occupancy statuses. Additionally, the LH's 'Where is My Home' information channel will be revamped.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport on October 16, the government has supplied 14,800 public sale housing units by the third quarter of this year and plans to announce an additional 10,000 units by year-end. This includes approximately 2,000 units from the third new town projects in Goyang Changneung (1,100 units), Bucheon Daejang (500 units), and Namyangju Wangsil (400 units), as well as 1,300 units in Seoul's Godeok Gangil, 2,100 units in Pyeongtaek Godeok, and 600 units in Gwanggyo.
For public rentals, about 14,700 residents have been recruited by the third quarter. By year-end, the government aims to recruit over 5,000 additional residents, including 1,400 units in Gwacheon Knowledge Information Town, 900 units near Guri Galmae Station, and 400 units in Incheon Bupyeong.
The government is also improving its information disclosure system to allow citizens to verify these supply plans and actual progress. Starting this month, regular briefings on housing supply will be held twice a month, detailing the status of construction, sales, and occupancy, along with future schedules.
A 'Digital Housing Supply Dashboard' will be created on the Ministry's website, providing a centralized location for supply plans, performance data, policy updates, and information on sales and rentals. Users will be able to view detailed project locations and progress on a map. A dashboard will be piloted in the fourth quarter before being fully integrated with all supply information.
The LH's 'Where is My Home' service will also be user-centered. The main screen will feature a map displaying project-specific construction and occupancy information, along with update dates. Information from the Seoul Housing and Communities Corporation (SH) will also be linked.
In addition, the government plans to expand short-term occupancy options. From the fourth quarter of this year through the end of next year, it aims to facilitate the occupancy of approximately 100,000 public housing units in the metropolitan area, including public sales, construction, purchases, lease rentals, and publicly supported private rentals.
Kim I-tak, the First Vice Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, “What is important for the public is to know specifically ‘where and when their home will be available.’ We will continuously disclose detailed supply schedules and conditions, demonstrating our commitment to providing quality housing quickly in desired locations.”
